Don't really have an interest in Bondy or Bazza's books, so I'll leave it to one of the other Kiwis. I could do a review on the Martin Donnelly biography, but it's been years since I read it, so I'll do the Sutcliffe one and contemplate re-reading Donnelly (although I have 3-4 other books to get through after Christmas Day came and went).

I would do Bond's, but I'd just keep saying I agree with him, so someone less biased should do it.

In the week that England have retained the Ashes, Martin reviews a biography of arguably the greatest Ashes skipper of them all.

Nice review Martin - I must say I found the portrayal of him in the TV series somewhat laughable, very much the comic-strip villain. It was that bloke from The Matrix and Lord of the Rings, wasn't it? Hugh Jorgan or some such.
